Written by Nick Schenk, The Mule is scheduled to film scenes in Rome on July 6th and cast and crew may be seen in the area in the coming weeks as the set up locations and prepare for filming. The Mule tells the shocking true story of the world’s oldest drug mule, Leo Sharp, who was 87 years old when arrested and 90 years old when sentenced to prison time.
The film is Eastwood’s first return to acting since the 2012 hit movie The Trouble With The Curve.
The movie will also feature Laurence Fishburne and Eastwood’s daughter Alison Eastwood.
For those who want to experience life on a set or sample the acting bug, background actors and extras are still being cast.
